For those who do not know, FACRA is a venture capital fund supported by the Executive and a powerful instrument for the diversification of the Angolan economy. Its objective is to encourage and stimulate the launch and expansion of new businesses, boost entrepreneurship, support the development of business skills and promote the innovation and efficiency of small and medium-sized enterprises in Angola. The Fund plays a particularly important role because of the current macroeconomic environment in which access to finance by MSMEs is difficult and the relatively poor skilled local workforce often prevents the expansion of the business.
